All this talk of AI “sandboxes” reminds me of Matt Kirschenbaum’s work on “sand tables” — ancient interactive platforms — which he shared maybe ~10 yrs ago on a “media furniture” panel Craig Robertson and I organized :)

Send in your work! We appreciate the writer's voice. Sometimes, people don't value the idiosyncrasy -- the way that one naturally talks or thinks, the turns of phrase, the associations, the unique details that reflect one's work, one's experience, one's history and inquiry.  We like personality!
